For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...
Thank the Veterans who served in The United States Armed Forces.

Canteen Backyard Cookout!!

Okay, who's cooking??

Tomkow? Old Sarge? Tonkin? HiJinx? Auntie Fawnn? Ma??????

Long weekends sometimes are family backyard cookouts.
While this weekend is Memorial Weekend, which we in the Canteen take seriously, a little kickoff fun is planned.
We thank our Troops for their service to our nation.

We have some beer!

Some eats!

Some fishing....

Some lounging around...

You a Redneck??
You might be a Redneck if your pickup looks like this!
Some more beer!

Somemore lounging around...

Tomkow has to show off at every Canteen party!
Soooo, what's your idea of a Backyard Cook Out?

In the ground is the only way to go around here. When it was so dry several years back, we started that to cut down the sparks from the all night cook outs. it works beautifully and the meat is tender as can be!

Enjoy!!

Time for this chickie babe to hit the hay...
but before I go...
Thank you to all my heroes in the armed forces
protecting and defending our country tonight.
You are my heroes and you are not forgotten.

Howdy Kathy!
Maybe you'll get lucky and get a decent rain tonight. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

The southern part of Tennessee is pretty dry. We could use more rain here. We've only had an inch of rain at the farm in the past 4 weeks and that was last Friday morning. The crops in the area are holding up fairly well but that won't last much longer without rain.

[Radix]

I don't want either of us sent to the corner!

Been there, done that!

[uncleshag]

G'night, Star*

Sleep well!

[pelikan]

Good Night Star...sweet dreams...:)

[HiJinx]

We'll bring dessert...pineapple upside down cake...one of Nana's most requested items!

Alas, the cloud has passed.

You need it worse than us. Hope it gets there soon.

[Radix]

If only we could get the moderators and Jim out of the way.

Then this place could be really fun.....

LoL

Just kidding.....

FReep mail coming to you in a moment....

A lot of folks we know cook pig in the ground. It may be a Southern thing.

And you're right.....it does work beautifully.

If I can ever get my "closet door" un-jammed, I'll grab a bunch of napkins. We're gonna need 'em once everyone starts pickin' that pig when it's done. LOL!

Some of the best BBQ I have tasted is prepared this way. Some I have visited have elaborate iron boxes in which the meat is held while cooking. The very best i have tasted was wrapped in wet cloths and buried directly on the coals.

Did she bake that?
Hope she baked plenty......all the Troops and the Canteen Crew will make short work of that! LOL!
